Nalbinding IS MINE!
May. 23rd, 2008 08:35 amI think I finally have got the hang of it. Whew!
After consulting with Mistress Sigrid Briansdotter at the MDSW festival and having her offer very useful help, I am on my way to making things using nalbinding. She explained about increases and even offered me a better stitch that makes a denser fabric.
Now, I only know one stitch, and I only have been able to get to a piece that is 1" x 2.5" in size, but it actually looks like nalbinding and if I'm lucky I will have socks soon! I was even able to attach my second length of yarn by felting and it worked!
I need to work on my tensioning as it's uneven but I'm making real fabric! Now to start a second piece so that I can work the two at the same time and not end up with "One Sockitis".
